The power of
information
■ Reduction in untimely
downtime of your
processes
■ Reduction in
intervention times
■ Contribution to
improving productivity
 « How much does a production downtime cost? »

1 days' loss of production represents thousands

and sometimes millions of euros.
A serious breakdown means weeks of production
stoppage.

 From now on,
with the iMCC
(intelligent Motor Control Center)
you are able to anticipate untimely downtime
of your processes

You reduce the number and duration of untimely

and expensive downtime of your processes

■ Relay electronics provide a high level of protection for the motor installed base
■ Alarms and detailed diagnostics mean a 70% reduction in untimely shutdown
■ Immediate corrective actions ensure reduced downtime

You reduce the cost and time of interventions

■ Detailed information concerning motor stoppage conditions allows rapid

diagnostics
■ Warning alarms enable anticipated diagnostics avoiding failures
■ Local or remote downloading allow rapid configuration
■ With the Schneider Electric iMCC, improved process availability and reduced
operating costs mean you benefit from a very quick return on investment

You continuously improve process productivity

■ Embedded statistics in the electronic protection module enable analysis of

the stoppages log
■ Correlation between process electrical measurements and physical
parameters provides process functioning aid
■ Conditional maintenance is made possible by the embedded statistics on
each motor feeder

 The Schneider Electric iMCC uses Tesys U motor
control and protection devices in Blokset and Okken
Low Voltage switchboards. Compared to
traditional MCCs or lower level iMCCs, the Schneider
Electric iMCC allows you to benefit from:

comprehensive information concerning 0 to 250 kW

motor feeders
a high level of operating dependability
a large reduction in the floor space taken up by
the switchboard, thanks to high stacking density
components and lower wiring needs

the power of information

Main functions

Protection

■ Full motor protection: thermal capacity, motor overload, locked rotor,

process over/under load, etc.
■ Accurate and stable protection through the use of electronics
■ Total coordination up to 15 kW for Blokset and Okken, thus strengthening
system availability
■ Complete safety for those intervening in the iMCC by protection against
indirect contact and prevention of intervention errors

Information

■ All electrical measurements, the state of each motor, fault alarms, etc.
Web-enabled Power & Control
■ All information can be available through a web server embedded inside
the equipment

Diagnostics

■ Alarms and instantaneous fault diagnostics: short-circuits, thermal faults,

earth faults, excessively long starting times, overloads, underloads, etc.

Statistics

■ Number of faults and alarms, motor start-ups, operating times

■ Conditions of latest faults

Installation optimized according to requirements:

fixed, disconnectable (upgradeable whilst energized), withdrawable
(quick replacement, test position, locking)
Freeing up of non-productive m2: up to 23 x 15 kW motor feeders per cubicle
with Blokset or 48 x 15 kW motor feeders per cubicle with Okken
Time saving for putting into service in the order of 50% compared to a
traditional MCC
Maintenance and operating cost reductions
10 times less varieties of components, 30% reduction in replacement part
storage costs

Safer

Schneider Electric tested switchboards in compliance with IEC 439-1

Full coordination up to 15 kW for Blokset and Okken
Prevention of handling errors:
Automatic breaking during interventions and energized parts covered
by IP20 screens
